Summary This treatise argues that Zechariah 12:10's 'look upon me whom they have pierced' reflects translators' Trinitarian assumptions, not the Hebrew. It claims ʿālai is a preposition without a noun object, so 'me' is an insertion, and notes that John 19:37 and Revelation 1:7 read 'him'. Since Yahweh is not a man and cannot die, the one pierced was Yahshua, the Son of Man, Yahweh's sent agent.
